Directive Statements

A directive statement has the following syntax:

.directive   [operands]   // comments

Where:

.directive

Represents the directive mnemonic. Directives always begin with a period (.). Directive mnemonics are not case-sensitive.

operands

The operands are optional and determined by the directive. Where multiple operands are present in directives, separate them with commas.
